Award-winning author and illustrator Rosemary Wells has donated the jacket art for a new (1999) edition of Morris's Disappearing Bag to the Texas Library Association. The panel (9.25 X 10.25 inches; image area 5.75 X 5.5 inches) features Morris himself, the loveable star of this story that has become a Christmas classic. Raffle tickets are $5.00 each and will be available at the Texas Book Festival November 5-7 in Austin and at the American Library Association Midwinter Conference in San Antonio in January 2000. The drawing will take place at the end of January. Proceeds from the raffle will build the Texas Library Disaster Relief Fund. Each $5 ticket secures you a chance at owning this original illustration while providing Texas libraries with a better chance to rebuild collections decimated by disasters such as floods, tornados, fires, and hurricanes. The first raffle item, an off-drawing from The Bear Went Over the Mountain, was offered at TLA's annual conference in April 1999 and raised $8000 for the fund. That piece was donated by the winner to the National Center for Children's Illustrated Literature in Abilene, Texas The RAFFLE FORM and additional information are available at http://www.txla.org/wells/raffle.html. Print and mail the raffle ticket with your money to Texas Library Association, 3355 Bee Cave Road, Suite 401, Austin, TX 78746. -- Jeanette Larson Director, Library Development Division Texas State Library jlarson@tsl.state.tx.us jlarson@tenet.edu =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-= All postings to LM_NET are protected under copyright law.
